Step Inside My World of Connection, Strategy, Pleasure, and Growth
For leaders and visionaries who want to expand their impact without losing their humanity — and have the audacity to make it feel extraordinary.
In my world, we build with soul, lead with clarity, and measure growth in both profit and joy. What happens inside these rooms isn’t public — but the results speak for themselves.
Keep scrolling friend.
A Curated Room for the
In-Between
Once a month, a carefully curated circle gathers to talk about the space between who you were and who you’re becoming.
It’s not a webinar. It’s not a networking call. It’s the kind of conversation you wish you could have with your smartest, most soulful friends — the ones who know how to blend business talk with life talk, strategy with soul, spreadsheets with stories.
We talk about scaling without self-erasure, navigating pivots with grace, and finding joy in the pauses. You’ll leave with clarity, connection, and the kind of insight you can’t Google.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like inside a world where humans show up for themselves and others, comfortable with lifting the veil, this is the only public doorway. See you in the Glow UP Connection Hour.

Speaking & Transformational Talks
Talks That Move Leaders to Think — and Act — Differently
I don’t do fluff. My talks are a mix of story, strategy, and soul — designed to shift perspectives and move people into action.
Whether I’m in a Fortune 500 boardroom, a founder summit, or a wellness retreat, my keynotes weave 20+ years of business acumen with the kind of truth you won’t find in a business book.
I take on a select number of speaking engagements each year — the right rooms, the right energy, the right timing.
Strategic Advisory & Board Leadership
Advisory That Balances the Boardroom and the Human Room
When the stakes are high, you need more than strategy. You need perspective — and the courage to make decisions that feel right on paper and in your gut.
I advise founders, executives, and boards through pivotal moments: acquisitions, expansions, strategic pivots, and redefining the metrics of success. My approach merges data-driven clarity with Human Design insights, ensuring you scale in alignment with your values.
The Decision Room
90 Minutes to Clarity
When you’re leading a business, there are moments where the decision in front of you will shape the next year — maybe the next decade.
You can’t run it by your team.You can’t take it to your board without politics.
And you can’t just “sleep on it” and hope the answer appears.
That’s why I created The Decision Room — a private, high-intensity 90-minute strategy intensive designed for established entrepreneurs, founders, and leaders navigating pivotal moments.
Sessions are booked by application only to ensure we’re a match for the work.

I believe that economic empowerment isn’t built in boardrooms alone — it’s built in living rooms, community spaces, and shared moments where trust is earned.

It’s not a consultancy service. It’s a collaboration — and it happens through energetic alignment. Get in touch and let’s create the new paradigm together.
